Peeling/paring knife Arcos NOVA 85 mm blade, serrated edge, black handle

The Arcos NOVA paring/peeling knife features an 85 mm serrated blade and a black ergonomic handle, designed for precise trimming, peeling and small cutting tasks in the kitchen. The compact blade length provides close control for work on fruits, vegetables and delicate ingredients where accuracy matters. The serrated edge helps to grip and slice through soft or slippery skins without crushing the flesh beneath, while the balanced handle ensures a secure hold during repetitive detail work.

Advantages

The compact profile allows for accurate paring and intricate cuts, and the black handle is shaped to provide a comfortable and stable grip. The knife’s construction supports easy handling for extended use during food preparation tasks that demand precision.

How to use

Hold the knife with a firm but relaxed grip on the handle and position the blade close to the surface of the item being prepared. Use short, controlled strokes for peeling and trimming, keeping the non-dominant hand clear and stabilising the produce. For serrated blades, let the teeth engage the skin and slice with a gentle sawing motion rather than forcing a downward push. After use, rinse the blade, dry thoroughly and store in a safe place to maintain edge condition and handle integrity.

Usage recommendations

Maintain the serrated edge by cleaning after each use and drying immediately to prevent corrosion. Use the knife for its intended paring and peeling tasks; avoid cutting hard materials or using lateral force that can damage the blade. For safe handling, store the knife in a block, sheath or magnetic strip out of reach of children.
